No, Jinzo does not destroy Trap Cards, he just negates them and prevents their activations. A 'Trap Monster' who is negated by a card like Jinzo, will be moved back into the S/T zone, still face-up. It will remain there uselessly for the rest of the duel unless destroyed, it will not become a monster again even if Jinzo leaves the field.

Can malefic blue eyes be special summoned after being special summoned the right way and no field card is on the field?

Because it is an 'only be special summoned by..' monster, that means it can be special summoned by cards like Monster Reborn, after it was summoned properly but was destroyed. Note that a field spell card is in no way part of Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon's summon condition. MB-EWD will simply be destroyed if it is ever face-up on the field, and no Field Spell Card is in play. So if Monster Reborn was used in this case, MB-EWD would be special summoned, and then destroy itself.


Can you use 'Call of the Haunted' to summon 'Jinzo'?

Yes, you can. His trap negation and trap activation prevention effects only apply when he is on the field. So Call of the Haunted can be activated and target him. When it special summons Jinzo, Jinzo's effect will then negate Call of the Haunted. This does not destroy Jinzo though, and when Call is destroyed, Jinzo will remain on the field because he's negating Call's effect to destroy the monster it summons.


Can jinzo destroy enbodiment of apophis?

In effect, Jinzo does not "destroy" Trap Cards. It only negates the effects and prevents them from activating.Therefore, if Embodiment of Apophis was already active on the field when Jinzo is Summoned, the Trap Monster is pushed back into the Spell & Trap Card Zone face-up, and is useless thereafter, even if Jinzo leaves the field.However, if Jinzo was already on the field, then Embodiment of Apophis could not have been activated in the first place. All Trap Cards cannot be activated while Jinzois face-up on the field.


Can Skill Drain nullify Jinzo's effect in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes and no. If Skill Drain is already active, then if Jinzo is summoned, his continuous effect is never applied. He will be negated. But if Jinzo is already face-up on the field, you can't even activate Skill Drain.Because Jinzo's effect is continuous, you can't wait until a player says they wish to summon Jinzo, and then try to activate Skill Drain. Jinzo will be summoned and be negating traps before your next opportunity to activate Skill Drain.


Where go when they get destroyed by battle?

When a non-effect monster destroys another monster the destroyed monster is sent to the grave, unless there is another card on the field which changes where destroyed monsters go. Depending on the effect of the monster that destroyed them they are either sent to the Graveyard, are banished, return to the owners hand, or can be summoned on the opponents side of the field. Some cards can even be saved from the grave by their own effect and are then either re-summoned or go to spell/trap zone. Spell/trap cards can also determine where they go, as they can change it so that any destroyed monster is banished instead of being sent to the graveyard.

What does Jinzo do?

Jinzo is a powerful card. His text reads: Trap Cards cannot be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are negated.When he is summoned, either by Tribute Summoning or Special Summoning, the instant he is face-up on the field no Traps work or can be activated. No, he doesn't destroy Trap cards, but any face-down Trap cards cannot be flipped to activate their effect. So if you were planning on activating Trap Hole or Torrential Tribute when Jinzo is summoned, it will not be able to activate.If either player has a face-up Trap card, it is negated as well. For example, let's say the oppoent has Solemn Wishes face-up on the field. Whenever they darw a card, they gain 500 LP. Now with Jinzo on the field, when they draw a card, Solemn Wishes will not activate and he/she will not gain 500 LP. An important thing to remember is that Jinzo's Trap-negation applies to both players, so your Traps are inactive and negated too!As a rule of thumb we can say that when Jinzo hits the field, Traps are done for, but in reality there are a few ways to get around Jinzo. If Jinzo is removed from the field (returned to hand, sent to Graveyard, etc.) or flipped face-down, Traps can start working again. If any Trap card like Threatening Roar is activated before Jinzo is summoned, Threatening Roar will still prevent the opposing player from declaring an attack.One other thing to note is that when Jinzo is summoned, certain Counter-Trap cards can stop him. The most notable ones are Solemn Judgement and Forced Back. When a monster gets summoned, those particualar cards will negate the summon of the monster. Think of it like this: if you Tribute Summon Jinzo and your opponent activates Forced Back, Jinzo's Trap-negation effect never gets a chance to take effect and he gets return to your hand.

Yes and no. If Skill Drain is already active, then if Jinzo is summoned, his continuous effect is never applied. He will be negated.

Jinzo will be summoned and be negating traps before your next opportunity to activate Skill Drain.


Where go when they get destroyed by battle?

When a non-effect monster destroys another monster the destroyed monster is sent to the grave, unless there is another card on the field which changes where destroyed monsters go. Depending on the effect of the monster that destroyed them they are either sent to the Graveyard, are banished, return to the owners hand, or can be summoned on the opponents side of the field. Some cards can even be saved from the grave by their own effect and are then either re-summoned or go to spell/trap zone. Spell/trap cards can also determine where they go, as they can change it so that any destroyed monster is banished instead of being sent to the graveyard.


Can Jinzo in Yu-Gi-Oh be stopped with the Horn of Heaven?

If Jinzo is summoned it can be targetted by trap cards to stop it, once it has been succesfully summoned it's effect takes place and stops trap cards being activated. E.g you summon Jinzo, your opponent can immediately activate horn of heaven to destroy it. If Jinzo is already on the field then no trap cards can be activated. *Once he is summoned, he is impossible to stop with traps. If your trap says "negate the summon," then he was never summoned, and therefore didn't stop the trap. Otherwise it doesn't work. That is how you can tell in the future as well. -Dragonheart91*


When a monster is especial summoned from your opponent's graveyard after being destroyed which graveyard does it go to?

The monster will always return to its owner's Graveyard. Incidentally, if the effect of the destroyed monster activates while it is still on the field, you will be able to use it; however, if the effect activates in the Graveyard, the card's owner will control the effect.


What happens to a Special Summoned Gemini monster?

The answer to this question can vary. Unless the card that Special Summoned the Gemini Monster specifically says otherwise, the Gemini Monster will be treated as a Normal Monster. If you have not already Normal Summoned this turn, you can perform said action on the Special Summoned Gemini Monster. There may be cards such as Black Brutdrago that states "The Special Summoned monster is treated as an Effect Monster, and gains its effect." In this case, as it states, the Special Summoned monster gains its effect while it is on the field and you do not have to resummon it.


If you have a Jinzo on the field and your opponent summons 'Kaiser Glider' same ATK if your opponent attacks Jinzo does Kaiser Gliders effect work and just destroy Jinzo or only when hes attacked?

Kaiser Glider's protective effect works whenever it battles with a monster, so it doesn't matter if it attacked another 2400ATK monster, of if that monster attacked Kaiser Glider, it will still survive.


Can Torrential tribute kill jinzo?

Only if Jinzo's effect is being negated, or he is face down. When Jinzo is successfully summoned, his continuous effect will be applied before traps can be activated in response. That means you cannot use summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute or BTH while he is face-up on the field.


What happens when you and your opponent both have monsters that negate the effect your opponents monsters?

The priority will always go to the monster that was Summoned first and has remained on the field. Therefore, the monster that was Summoned first will remain unaffected and the monster that was Summoned second will have its effect negated along with the other monsters on that side of the field.This ruling is similar to the Jinzo vs. Skill Drain debate. Whichever card was active first, has priority over the other.For confirmation on this ruling, click on the "Related Link" below and look at "Skill Drain" under the "Mentions in other Rulings" of the "TCG Rulings" section.
